Where is the best place to grow grapefruit? What are the environmental conditions needed?

The ripening period of grapefruit is from September to December every year, and the juicy and sweet pulp is also loved by the majority of consumers. Do you know where to grow grapefruit? What kind of environmental conditions are needed? The following will be answered one by one by the editor of Tuliu.com.

First, the basic introduction of grapefruit

1. Varieties of grapefruit

Pomelo is a kind of evergreen tree in four seasons, also known as Wendan, Xiangzhu, Zhu Zi, Nei Zi and so on. There are many varieties of pomelo, including orange red, Shatian pomelo, Wendan, Pingshan pomelo, Jinxiang pomelo, Anjiang grapefruit, mulberry pomelo, golden orchid pomelo, four seasons polish, late white pomelo, Liangping pomelo and so on. When we are planting, we should choose the most suitable varieties according to different needs and local planting environment.

two。 The value of grapefruit

Grapefruit is rich in sugars, vitamins, protein and crude fiber. Trace elements, etc., have good effects of reducing blood sugar, blood lipids, weight loss, skin beauty and so on, and often eating grapefruit can strengthen skin pores, quickly restore skin tissue, prevent anemia symptoms and promote fetal development. Grapefruit plays an auxiliary role in the treatment of diabetes, vascular sclerosis and other diseases, and is one of the best dietotherapy fruits for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and kidney diseases.

3. The yield of grapefruit per mu

Generally speaking, there are about 65 grapefruit trees in one mu of land, and the yield per mu is about 10,000 jin. Of course, different grapefruit varieties, grafting techniques, management techniques, boiling water management and weather conditions are all factors that affect the pomelo yield. Therefore, the specific output of grapefruit should be based on the actual situation.

Where is the suitable place to grow grapefruit?

Pomelo is a kind of subtropical evergreen fruit tree, so it is basically suitable for planting where the temperature is suitable, and it is generally common in the south of the Yangtze River. for example, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Sichuan, Zhejiang and other provinces are more suitable for growing grapefruit, besides China, they are cultivated in many countries and regions in Southeast Asia. The United States, Cuba, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina and Japan are also major producers of grapefruit.

In addition, grapefruit is not suitable for planting in the north because it is prone to frost injury at low temperatures, but it is cultivated in Xinyang and Nanyang, Henan Province.

Third, what are the environmental conditions needed for grapefruit?

1. Pomelo is not tolerant to low temperature, but high temperature and drought seriously affect the yield, so the warm and humid climate is more suitable for the growth of grapefruit. However, pomelo has strong adaptability to temperature. Pomelo is distributed in the areas where the annual average temperature is 16.6-21.3℃, the average temperature in January is 5.4-13.2℃, the annual accumulated temperature of ≥ 10 ℃ is 5300-7500 ℃, and the absolute low temperature is above-11.1℃.

two。 The best growing soil temperature of pomelo is 20-30 degrees, generally lower than 7 ℃ or higher than 37 ℃ will make its root growth stop or grow weakly.

3. Pomelo has a wide range of adaptability to soil types and soil pH, among which the cultivated soil with good soil permeability, loose and thick soil, pH 6-6.5, porosity above 10% and oxygen content above 6% is the best.

4. Although pomelo is shade-tolerant, it is necessary to have good light conditions for high yield, and to avoid strong light at the same time. In addition, pomelo trees should be watered more during the growing season to keep the soil moist.

In addition, grapefruit trees should be pruned in stages during the planting and growth period, and the pruning of young trees is mainly plastic, and the fruit is divided into two stages: winter pruning and summer pruning, which is more beneficial to the fruit and yield of fruit trees.
